: Hi,
:
: I switched my BIOS (Asus M4A78L-M) to use AHCI and ran under AHCI
:but I've had to switch back to NATA because after a day or two of light use
:I start getting an endless stream of these messages in the log
:filling /var (1GB) rapidly, there's no sign of trouble using NATA.

:Aug 26 14:36:53 df1 kernel: ahci0.0: Transient Errors: 40<PCS>
:Aug 26 14:36:53 df1 kernel: ahci0.0: Failing all commands
:
: So far the only way I've found to stop it is to reboot, after which
:all is fine for a day or two. What is this most likely to be and how can I
:find out more ?

PCS is a port-change signal, it would not be signaling that unless
there was a problem with the PHY or connector. Do you have a
loose connection somewhere? It is also possible to get it if
the hard drive power cycles.
